There are many ways to lose weight but admittedly, a weight loss regimen would be lost without exercise. Exercise is an important physical activity. Without resorting to these methods, we might not be able to target the weight loss goals that we have set for ourselves. For these reasons and more, exercise is thus seen as an important regimen that can speed up weight loss pursuits while also making healthier and giving a better shot at wellness as well. The problem with exercise is that not many people have the time for it. Or, the problem could also be that the individuals are too lazy to take exercise seriously. For those people who have this dilemma, here is what we prescribe to get you guys on the move:1. Start your physical activity or warm up and the rest will just follow. Breaking inertia is not the easiest thing to do but once you've done it, the hardest part is over. Just do something then you're started, all it takes is one positive step, no matter how small. It can be one healthy meal, a few stretches, a short walk, then tell yourself that you're over the hump and you're on your way. 2. Get used to the routine that you have started and do your best to stick to it. ...more

Recently, a friend asked me to help her brother sell his collection on Lladro glass figurines on eBay. These are expensive glass collectibles and I knew nothing about them - but I don't have to. The principles for selling expensive collectibles on eBay are the same, regardless of what is being sold. Obviously, like any eBay auction, the seller must have a powerful listing with great pictures. This is always true regardless of what the merchandise is. Expensive collectibles offer splendid opportunities, but also need special precautions. 1. Price: decide the lowest amount you will accept for each figurine and set that price as a reserve. Then make your opening bid absurdly low - yes, absurdly. Example: if you will accept $1,000 - make your opening bid $25. There is no risk in this, because you don't have to sell unless the bidding reaches $1000, but the low price attracts buyers, (assuming there is demand, of course). Looking at completed eBay auctions allows us to track prices. Again and again we learn that starting the price where the seller hopes it will end is not a wise tactic. For instance, a seller wants to get $750 for his figurine. An opening bid of $750 won't attract...more
